On the geometry of sub-Riemannian manifolds equipped with a canonical quarter-symmetric connection
In this article, a sub-Riemannian manifold of contact type is understood as a Riemannian manifold equipped with a regular distribution of codimension-one and by a unit structure vector field orthogonal to this distribution. This vector field is called a

Sub-Riemannian geometry, Hamiltonian dynamics, micro-swimmers, copepod nauplii and copepod robot
The objective of this article is to present the seminal concepts and techniques of Sub-Riemannian geometry and Hamiltonian dynamics, complemented by adapted software to analyze the dynamics of the copepod micro-swimmer, where the model of swimming is the

On measures in sub-Riemannian geometry [PDF]
In [9] we give a detailed analysis of spherical Hausdorff measures on sub-Riemannian manifolds in a general framework, that is, without the assumption of equiregularity. The present paper is devised as a complement of this analysis, with both new results and open questions.

On geometry of sub-Riemannian η-Einstein manifolds
On a sub-Riemannian manifold of contact type a connection with torsion is considered, called in the work a Ψ-connection. A Ψ-connection is a particular case of an N-connection.

A right-invariant sub-Riemannian setting for Large Deformation models [PDF]
The Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Metric Mapping (LDDMM) framework introduced in [BMTY05, Tro95, DGM98] is a widely recognized method in shape analysis and computational anatomy.

The left-invariant contact metric structure on the Sol manifold
Among the known eight-dimensional Thurston geometries, there is a geometry of the Sol manifold – a Lie group consisting of real special matrices. For a left-invariant Riemannian metric on the Sol manifold, the left shift group is a maximal simple ...

On 4-dimensional Einsteinian manifolds with parallel null distribution [PDF]
In this paper, we investigate the Einsteinian manifolds with parallel null distribution. For this purpose, we first obtain the equations, which are known as Einstein's equations, that lead to finding the mentioned manifolds and then, we reduce Einstein's

The regularity problem for geodesics of the control distance
In this survey, we present some recent results on the problem about the regularity of length-minimizing curves in sub-Riemannian geometry. We also sketch the possible application of some ideas coming from Geometric Measure Theory.

Sub-Lorentzian Geometry of Curves and Surfaces in a Lorentzian Lie Group
We consider the sub-Lorentzian geometry of curves and surfaces in the Lie group E1,1. Firstly, as an application of Riemannian approximants scheme, we give the definition of Lorentzian approximants scheme for E1,1 which is a sequence of Lorentzian ...
